Recipe Directions

1. OPTIONAL TO SOFTEN: The night before, throw the water, raisins and then oats into your blender. Let them sit overnight.

2. In the morning, start your blender (and if you didn't soak the night before, throw the water, raisins and then the oats into your blender). While the water and oats are blending, chop the apple and then add it to the blender, too.

3. Continue blending until the oatmeal is a nice, smooth texture.

4. Eat! I love to top this oatmeal with more whole raisins and a sprinkle of cinnamon. This recipe makes for a very filling breakfast.

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

In the morning, my breakfast is almost always either fresh fruit, a green smoothie, or--my favourite--quick, blended oatmeal.

This recipe does take a bit of preparation because it should be soaked overnight, but, with only a few ingredients, it's so easy! (PS: You can do it without soaking but it won't be as smooth.)

Of course, like any good oatmeal, top this recipe with fruit or whatever suits your fancy!

PS: It has recently come to my attention that eating truly uncooked oats is not safe. Thus, I have modified this recipe to use quick rolled oats, which have been cooked but are way better for your digestive system. Truly raw (uncooked) oats are very tough on the digestive system and should not be eaten because of their high amount of phytic acid.

Raw oatmeal recipe

Hi!
First of all, thank youfor your recipes, they're great (especially the banana cream pie, even non-raw-foodists LOVED it!)
Sencond, I see a lot of recipes with oats. I've been told, that oats are not good in a raw food diet.. But sometimes I really want to eat an oatmeal, and I don't have raw oats, only Quaker.. Do you think, as a raw-foodist who probably know more than Ido, that it's okay once in a while, or should I try to not eat it at all?

Soak them 12-24 hours with double the amount of water, 1tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1tbsp buckwheat flour. Buckwheat contains phytase which will pre-digest the phytic acid for ya! Drain and rinse well before adding to the recipe.

I'm in school to become a certified holistic nutrition consultant, so I'm always looking for ways to optimize nutrition for vegans. I actually found the buckwheat flour idea on a marksdailyapple.com forum thread, and the reasoning is totally sound. I've done it a few times and made it into overnight oats, and I didn't have any issues even though I don't tolerate grains well.

This recipe is fine. Just wasn't my thing I guess. Soaked the oats overnight so it was creamy. Flavor was good. I think I struggled with it being cold. Wonder if next time I might warm it up just a little and may like it even better. Also, I'm trying to lose weight so the serving size for me would have to be one serving.

I love this app. This one is the best so far. However I have a question a out this recipe. The serving size have 3 portions, the calories per serving are 210, so it will be a total of 630 calories. I don't think the ingredients are too high in calories. I think I am reading this wrong. Do I need to multiply the portions by the total of calories, or the calories are the total calories for the recipe, including all the ingredients, and the serving size is just a guide and doesn't affects the serving size?
Thank you and this app is awesome!

Could there be a typo on the ingredients? I was preparing to soak my oats tonight to try this for tomorrow and I noticed the cooking directions on my steel-cut oats are 1 cup oats to 4 cups water for 4 servings. Should the ingredients be 1/4 cup oats instead of 1 1/4 cup for 1 serving? Thanks.
